VISION: Achieve increased economic development
in Northeast Ohio by using the artistic and
culturally enriching activities of film and other
media production to strengthen the workforce,
support the media production industry and attract
media production to the region.
MISSION: Promote the increase of media
production in Northeast Ohio using effective
strategies for attraction and workforce
development including building an artistic
infrastructure through film.

GCFC is the only non-profit dedicated to bringing jobs and economic impact to Northeast Ohio through the growth of a sustainable media production industry. We work every day to advocate for policies that will benefit this industry in Ohio, attract productions of all kinds (movie, tv, commercial, video game) to the region and provide workforce development programs to equip local crews and vendors with the tools designed to meet the needs of visiting filmmakers. Our organization was instrumental in the founding of Cleveland State University's new School of Film, Television, and Interactive Media, which will be the first of its kind in Ohio when it opens in Fall 2017. We do not receive any funding from the productions that we bring to town, and rely solely on donations from community partners, local businesses and people like you.
